Thought I'd pass this along. I have the Mac Mini and I recently went out and purchase the MiniMate hard drive which I love as well. Problem was the stand I purchased did not work anymore. (I needed a stand to protect my mini so the cat wouldn't try and sit on it.)

So I picked this stand up at Staples and it works great. Both the Mini and MiniMate fit right in underneath when they are seated next to each other. Plus the stand is somewhat stylish since it matched my monitor.

It looks good. I wonder if there are rubber pads on the bottom to keep it from sliding? The metal bars may slide around if your monitor is lightweight.

Not to worry - It's very stable. I have one of those stands that I used for my Dell Desktop with a lightweight monitor and it does not move. You cold hit someone in the head with this stand and do some damage.

I just bought one of these from Staples. It is well worth the money. I have my 17 inch Samsung on it and the Mac Mini and a Firewire drive side by side under it. It does have four small pads on the bottom that makes it really stable. It is very heavy for its size. I could probably put my iMac G3 computer on it with no problems. Oh, and it looks nice also.

Cool. I look forward to seeing it. I hope you kept them cables tidy or you'll loose a star or two on your rating. I was already eyeballing how to run the cables nice and neat. It would look pretty trick if you could fish your cables through the tubular frame.

I'm surprised the stand can hold up to 40 lbs.
Dell Apple: It's good to know you could do some damage with it. Might come in handy to fend off drooling PC owners.
